Information

  • In this module, risks and opportunities are collected and edited based on the program.

Details

  • In the respective area heading bars, summarized damage and profit values are displayed, which result from all collected risks and opportunities of the program, regardless of whether they are active or inactive, except the Probable value. Since it is only calculated for risks and opportunities (see Notes under Create Risk), it will only be summarized for active risks and opportunities.
  • By clicking on the Display/hide charts button, bubble charts for risks and opportunities as well as a matrix diagram for risks will be displayed in addition.
    • If the button is clicked on once more, the bubble charts are hidden again.

Risks

Information

  • Risk management is the systematic collection, evaluation, and controlling of different risks.
  • Risks increase costs or lead to provisions.
  • In order to achieve suitable preventive and protective measures you have to identify new risks at an early stage and re-evaluate known risks continuously.

Procedure

  • Create a new risk record by right-clicking on the module header or on an already existing risk record and selecting the Insert → Risk command from the context menu.
  • Enter the name in the Risk field.
  • Select the required category from the listbox.
  • The amount of damage possible due to the occurring risk is specified in the Possible field (EUR).
  • Enter the probability in the Probability field (in %).
  • The probable damage extent is calculated in the Probability field from the values in the Possible and Probable fields. If measures are subsequently added to the risk, their values are taken into account in the calculation of the probable damage as well.
  • If required, you can go ahead and fill other fields and save subsequently.

Note

  • All newly created risks are active by default (Active checkbox activated).
  • If risks are deactivated,
    • they will not be considered in evaluations and status reports.
    • they will not be displayed in the charts.
